HR software in DAFZA

You move electronics, pharmaceuticals and aviation parts through customs on tight timelines. Your HR setup has to handle free-zone visa sponsorship, payroll and federal compliance without slowing you down.

Working in DAFZA

HR software for DAFZA businesses

DAFZA operates under free-zone licensing, not the emirate's economic department. Staff visas come through the zone authority, not MOHRE. Employment law sits between free-zone rules and federal obligations. Hubb People handles your records, leave and payroll within that framework—no spreadsheets, no manual filings, no guesswork on which rules apply.

Every project is a fixed quote with a clear timeline and clear milestones. You own the work and the accounts outright when we're done — no lock-in, and nothing you can't take with you.

  • Customs-bonded warehousing operations
  • Regional supply-chain and distribution businesses

Free-zone HR that fits how you actually operate

Your staff visa applications go through DAFZA, not the mainland system. Your contracts follow free-zone employment terms. Your payroll runs monthly, but your compliance obligations span both zone and federal rules depending on what you're filing. Most HR software assumes mainland Dubai. Hubb People is built for the reality: employee records, leave balances, performance tracking and payroll in one place, with the flexibility to handle free-zone specifics without forcing you into workarounds. When your buyer walks through the gate with a tight delivery window, your team doesn't have time for manual handoffs between systems.

Payroll and WPS filings for free-zone distributors

Your monthly payroll has to feed two streams: your own systems and the Wage Protection System filings that track salary deposits to bank accounts. DAFZA staff still fall under the federal gratuity formula for end-of-service. Hubb People runs payroll, calculates gratuity accrual from day one, and exports the WPS Salary Information File ready for upload to the bank. No detours through finance systems. No recalculation. You control the data, approve the run, and hand it off. Multi-company tenancy means if you operate under more than one license, each one gets its own records, payroll and reporting without shared confusion.

Records, recruitment and audit trails under one roof

When customs queries a staff record or a visa issue lands on your desk, you need proof: employment contract, leave history, performance notes, disciplinary record if there is one. Hubb People stores everything in one place with a full audit trail—who changed what, and when. Recruitment sits in the same system, so you track vacancies, applicants and hiring pipeline without switching tabs. Employee-relations cases—warnings, investigations, grievances—are documented with timestamps and signatures. If DAFZA or a buyer's audit asks questions, you have the answer within seconds, not hours hunting through email and folders.

Questions

HR software in DAFZA — common questions

Does Hubb People handle free-zone visa sponsorship?

No. Visa applications and sponsorship go through DAFZA directly. We store employment contracts and staff details—the paperwork you need to submit—but the platform does not integrate with the zone portal or file visas itself.

How does payroll work if we operate under multiple free-zone licenses?

Each license gets its own company record within the platform. Payroll, leave balances, performance and reporting stay separate. You can run each one independently, or view them together for group reporting.

Can Hubb People export our payroll data to the Wage Protection System?

Yes. The platform generates the WPS Salary Information File ready for upload to the bank. You approve the payroll run and download the file—no extra steps, no reformatting.

What if we need to switch an employee between our DAFZA company and a mainland operation?

The platform does not automatically apply different employment law rules between zones and mainland. You handle the contract change and terms. We store the updated record and run payroll under the new setup you specify.

Do you handle gratuity calculation?

Yes. Hubb People accrues and calculates end-of-service gratuity using the federal formula under Federal Decree-Law No. 33 of 2021. It runs automatically as you process payroll.
